The War in Korea

Fifth Air Force crash and fire crews of the 67th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing spray the burning engine of a U.S. Air Force B-29 “Superfort” with chemical foam after the medium bomber tangled with enemy jet aircraft and anti-aircraft guns over North Korea. The daring air crew brought the limping “Superfort” back to this advanced air base with the use of flaps or rudder controls and with two engines out. None of the crew was injured. Photo circa October 1951, Korean War.
